Steam Landship

[PR19_Kit]

Or clockwork even? With a BIG key to wind it up? 

[Weaver]

The enemy would be sitting in their trenches, getting more and more nervous, unable to see anything, just hearing the low thumping of steam engines, the clank of tracks and the occasional whistle...

Love it!!!

Meanwhile a couple of scouts are sent out to set up decoy whistles, which sound off regularly for up to two hours, depending on the filling of the firebox.

Heh - the steam equivalent of ECM/ECCM, but measured in decibels and psi instead of watts...

Where do they keep the fuel?

[Rick Lowe]

Glorious! Carry On, Good Sir! 

[Old Wombat]

Where do they keep the fuel?

Where's it carried on most steampunk contraptions? 

My answer: In Mary Poppins' handbag!

Or, in an armoured, tracked tender?

This IS the tender. You should see the tank!

Hi.
Maybe you can add a plow on front and it could chew up and burn any trees, shrubs and/or peaty Bog that it digs up

The High Concentration Compressed Carboniferous Media, will be under the hatch named bunker

For major engineering.. this is just about it.
Front and rear 'Undulating Terrain Re-adjustment Stabilizers" 
Machine Guns also finished. Maybe, they may get a forward strap around them


Frontal aspect, the front stabilizer wheels do have return springs, plus the not so fat controller who is under contruction.


The main event really, most of the build effort was around here after the initial construction. With all the cables and bits in place. Engineering committee met and Coolie hat stack protectors - Approved 
Still work in progress though

Rear Stabilizers, had to clear the door. Need to fix the wonky one.


Now some dabbling with some Steampunky filigree ironwork, just using what I have without sourcing elsewhere at this stage. Just white glued on while I am at sit and contemplate mode


This might be it for a month, as I am off on holiday at the end of the week.  I do want to see it in primer though, lets see how it goes.

"What's the matter with The Fat Cont-, with The Fat Cont-, with The Fat Controller?" asked Harry, who had an unfortunate stammer...

[Old Wombat]

Not sure about the filigree work, but the rest of it is coming along great guns!   

[kerick]

Loving how this is coming together!
